BRINER, slightly-modified form of induced-current a citizen of the United States, residing at the conducting bars, and Fig. 12 is a detailed city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have inview of one of the bearings for the armaturevented a certain new and usefullmprovement shaft. 5 5

It will be noticed that I do not use a 5 of assembling the induced-current-conductstarting-coil or a different winding to start 5 ing bars illustrated in Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a the motor. The winding shown is continufragmentary view of one of the laminations ous and in use at all times. I have found by of the armature, showing the openings for the experiment that the magnetic poles have a induced-current-conducting bars, said lamidifferent magnetic intensity at different por- 50 nations being sawed through the periphery tions thereof. This will answer admirably I00 for meters of this description. The lirsthalf of each polar projection haying so much more winding than the othe or second hall, of the polar projection will become more thoroughly and more quickly saturated with magnetism than the second hall, and for this reason I obtain a result equal to a lagging in the phase of the current.

13 indicates a spider-frame for supporting the armature, the hub portion Z) of said frame being ol't'set, as shown more clearly in Fig. 2 so as to cause the armature to overhang.

(J indicates the laminations comprising the core of the armature, said laminations being formed with a series of openings c, as shown in Fig. 10. ln forming these laminations a bridge is left for each opening at the periphery ol' the lamination, and after the inducedcurrent-conducting bars are inserted these bridges are sawed in half, so as to sever the polar projections of the armature.

l) indicates an induced-current-condu cting' bar which when inserted in an armatureopening is substantially of the shape shown in llig. 7, wherein one end (6 is bent down at an angle while the other end is split, forming tongues (1, (Z and (Z These induced-current-eond uotin g bars are introduced from opposite sides of the armature-core, as shown in Fig. 5, wherein it will be seen that the bent portion (Z lies against the outer laminations, and the tongues project beyond the outer lamination on the other side, two of these inducod-current-coniflnoting bars being introdueed into a single openin z After the in duced-current-conducting bars are in position in the armature the tongues are bent down over the portions (7, as shown in Fig. llthat is, the tongue 01 is bent over and mashed down upon the hen t portion (Z on the induced-current-eondnoting bar in an adjacent opening, the tongue (Z is bent down over the portion (.1 on the companion ind uced current-coinlucting bar in the same opening,

and the tongue (F iabent down over the portion (1 on the induced-cu1'rcnt-conducting bar in the adjacent opening similar to the tongue (1. These tongues match each other over the bent portions and form contacts whose surface area is in excess of the cross-sectional area of two companion indneed-current-eonducting bars in a single opening. This is a very desirable feature. After the tongues have been bent down, as shown, the inducedcurrentconducting bars will contact with each other, and the armature is then dipped in a weak solution of muriatic acid, after which it is innnersed in solder.

In Figs. 8 and 9 l have shown a slightlymodilied form of tongues on the induced-cur- 'ent-condncting bars, in which the central tongue is provided with lateral wings (7, interlocking with recesses d of the two outside tongues ol. an :uljacent inducedcurrent-conducting bar.

In the mahingot armatures for meters of this description it has been the practice herotolore to arrange rings at the sides of the armature core and pass round copper bars through the core, riveting the same to the copper rings. These riveted heads on the bars give way under expansion ot' the armature core, the result being that the copper rings become loose and uuserviceahlc. llloreorer, the proper contact is not made between the short-circuiting rings of copper and the induced-current-condnoting bars. .lly my con struction the induced current coinjlueting bars form the proper contact, and by being bent, matched, and interlocked with each other it is impossible for them to worl; loose or give way under expansion of the lan'iinzt tious oi the armature-eore. Ag: '11, where round iiuluced-current-eomlueting bars are used there is not enough iron. lel't between the parts, due to the circularity ot' the open ings through which they must pass. liy male ing the openings in the core radially elon gated I aln enabled to leave a larger body ot' iron between the openings to acconnnodalc the same amount ol. copper, and so obtain better resul by having a more ellicient armature.

in Fig. 11.1 have shown two copper rings d, being the shorteircuiting rings of the in mature, the iinluced'curreu t-coinliuiting bars being bent over said rings at their ends.

E indicates the armature-shaft, through which the hub Z) of the armaturespider is fixed. This armature-shalt is mounted in bearings arranged in the front plate l5 ot' the armature-casing, said front plate being prel erably secured to the elnmping-rings ot' the lield-nnignet core. As shown in it-ig. L, this bearing is somewhat elongated, and the opening in the hub of the front plate is eccentricztllyarranged relative to said plate. In each end of this hub I introduce two lnishings (El, whose construction is more clearly shown in Fig. These bushingshave a recessedportion on their under sides nearest each other, an opening g being formed into which a fibrous luln-icator may be introduced.

M indicates a casing introduced between clamping-rings of the field-magnet to give a finished appearance to the motor.

The armature-shaft extends some distance forward beyond the front plate, so as to enable the mounting of a fan, pulley, or gear-wheel, as desired.
